There is this: https://www.aiva.ai/ I've toyed around with it a bit. It's impressive for sure, but I am not sure I think of it as anything other than a curiosity.

Same. It's very underwhelming for now.

Yes. I feel like they made zero progress since they launched as far as the actual quality of the music. They added a bunch of product features but not things that matter. Melody and harmony have not improved (still takes ~50 tries to generate something that doesn’t sound mediocre or outright bad.

klingklangklong has a few nice AI/ML based projects, for example:

I made a bunch with Gwern’s GPT: https://soundcloud.com/theshawwn/sets/ai-generated-videogame...

Do you think there will be Jukebox2, and similar level of improvement as what we saw with GPT->GPT2->GPT3 progression?

Found this today, the output is pretty impressive to my ears: https://github.com/lucidrains/perceiver-ar-pytorch + https://storage.googleapis.com/perceiver-ar/index.html

Great samples.

David Cope's been making algorithmic music for a while - not current but worth knowing about: http://artsites.ucsc.edu/faculty/cope/

edit: There's also this on ambient endless generative music that I think was an HN submission a couple of years ago https://generative.fm/

Undoubtedly. It’s just a matter of time.

Whether it’ll be OpenAI or someone else is a tossup though. There’s not much commercial incentive to make AI music. So my money is on the hackers. Intellectual curiosity is still one of the most powerful forces of change.

The resources are there. You can get a couple hundred TPUs from google for free. So it’s a matter of talent, not permission.
